📘 Project Description

This project consists of the design, implementation, and experimentation of a smart crop management system focused on romaine lettuce. It combines scientific research with embedded systems, desktop application development in Java, and mathematical modeling using solids of revolution.

The system is capable of:

• Monitoring temperature and humidity using Arduino Uno + DHT22 sensor
• Registering crop data such as date, humidity, temperature, and growth length
• Encrypting data using AES (Advanced Encryption Standard)
• Modeling lettuce volume using a mathematical generator function

The development followed the 6D methodology:

1. Problem Description
2. Problem Definition
3. Solution Design
4. Solution Development
5. Debugging and Testing
6. Documentation
